Hi Hugh,

that depends on the provider in use, a PostGIS provider might behave differently from a Shapefile. See if wrapping the comment in /* comment */ works.

Cheers, Hannes

Hi all,

in the Layer Properties >> source >> Query Builder dialogue, if I use "--" it shows that I've commented out that line. when I test the query though, it throws an error complaining about the comment I included.

Is there a way to include a comment in the query?

i've like to include a note to myself when I filter things sometimes as it can be hard months or years later to figure out the motivation. for example:

-- remove built neighborhood bikeway according to KML file from client, per email 2022-02-03
"LOCAL_ID" NOT IN (4030, 3533, 4307, 6015, 5217)

Maybe there's a better way to include this note, but it seems that the closer the note is to the filter query definition the more likely I am to see it.

thanks

Hugh
